EXPERT SUPPORT IN
Becoming a parent is one of the most wonderful adventures that you will ever undertake. But it can also be confusing and sometimes challenging.
You may have received conflicting advice around breastfeeding and tongue-tie, and want to talk to an expert.
My team and I have supported thousands of families on their breastfeeding/chestfeeding journey and we want to help you too!
Our mission is to empower you to reach your lactation goals and breastfeed and/or chestfeed/express for your baby for as long as you want to, with confidence and ease.

"The service Dee provides is priceless"
"After being told it would be a 14 week wait to get my baby's tongue tie assessed I contacted Dee. We had struggled with an effective latch and her weight was dropping on the centile chart. Dee was amazing, I called late afternoon on a Friday and she discussed the issues and gave advice on the phone and arranged to visit Monday morning. Less than 2 weeks later Elysia’s weight is on the up. The service Dee provides is priceless.”

"Every new mum needs a Dee in their life!"
"Every expectant and new mum needs a Dee in their life! Expecting twins, I was very unsure as to whether I'd be able to breastfeed successfully but knew I really wanted to give it a go. Dee helped me enormously by teaching me the ins and out of breastfeeding, milk production and supply."
Angela, with twins Ivy Mae & Rory
